Olive's 26th birthday.   She made a currant bread loaf, and had 'party'' in Joan Walkden's corridor.  Ginger (H.Angus, Govt. clerk), also  Bill Kerr. Also there Lorraine Money, of 'Courtlands' Kennedy Road,  Bicky (B.I. Bickford) and Nielson.

Bill Kerr told how he had milked the cows at Pokfulam during the war, and pinched piglets!

Mrs Ross died and was buried.  ((She was a late middle-aged lady, on her own in camp, lived in a room 2 doors away from ours. She just gave up trying to live.  Felt dreadful for her, when listing her poor little collection of personal effects at the hospital.))
